Our NEW HOUSE!!!

Back in February of 2017, we bought the most beautiful 13 acres.  We had big dreams for it and talked about when we would build our forever home on that land, but that it would be a couple of years before we would start anything.  Well, God had other plans for us!  We sold our, almost brand new, house in Lonestar that we had just built and completed in August of 2015 in May of 2017.  And, just a few months after we bought the land and sold our house, we were moving in with my parents and working on house plans for our forever home!  We hadn't even put our Lonestar house on the market and it sold within a few days of just mentioning it to some of our best friends who are realtors.  On July 17th, we closed on our Lonestar house and were completely moved out on July 31st.  It was so bittersweet to move out of that house, but I knew that our future was even more exciting than the little bit of sadness that I felt when moving out of our Lonestar house.  We moved right in with my parents and lived with them from July 31st until March 12th, the day we closed on our forever home.  We have lived in this house for 8 months and to say that it has been a dream would be an understatement.  I never considered myself a country girl (and still don't really!), but I am loving every second of living on these beautiful, quite, Spirit-filled, 13 acres.  I have seen so many different kinds of birds, even a hummingbird right outside our craft room window, bunnies eating on our front yard, a road runner, a fox, and a few neighbor cats.  It is so neat to look outside one of our many windows and see all of God's creations.  The sun rises and sun sets will take your breath away and the stars at night are so bright, you can see them for miles.  I am so thankful that God chose this path for us, and even more grateful that Cody took the plunge and stayed the course to make sure that we made this land ours.  I can't wait to make memories here for the rest of our lives and to watch Seiden grow up here.  Here are some pics of our new farmhouse!
